Free-hanging blind vs framed blind: which fits your window best?

Choosing the right window decoration can be quite tricky. There are countless options, each with their own style, mounting method and functionality. Yet this choice is more important than you think. After all, window decoration largely determines the atmosphere, look and comfort of a room. Two popular options are the free-hanging roller blind and the framed roller blind. But which one suits your situation best?

In this blog, we clearly list the differences, advantages and disadvantages. So you will soon be able to make the right choice for your interior.

Thanks to the magnetic mounting (without drilling or screws), you simply place the aluminium frame on the glazing bars of your window frame. Ideal for plastic window frames, but also applicable to wooden and aluminium windows and doors.

- Stylish aluminium frame - sleek and subtle in any room.

- Easy to remove - useful when cleaning or changing style.
